The duduk is an ‘oboe’, made of apricot wood, peculiar to Armenia. It is presented by Djivan Gasparian, one of the great masters of this beautiful instrument (who played it in such films as “The last Temptation of Christ” and “Gladiator”) and the duduk virtuosi Sergei Karapetian and Mkrtich Malkhasian. The music of the duduk has a haunting, dreamy quality, on some pieces accompanied by a dool (drum).
